KCF stepped up to support The Sophia Way during the building of Kirkland Place for Families & Women. We are truly blessed to partner with KCF to realize the completion of this permanent emergency shelter location.
Zee Peters, The Sophia WayEach year, hundreds of young Kirkland residents write letters to Santa and drop them in the Santa’s North Pole Mailbox that is located in downtown Kirkland. And each year Santa (well… many of Santa’s helpers) respond with return letters. Nope… it’s not via text, email, or any type of social media. It’s actual old-school letter writing with envelopes and stamps. KCF works with the Kirkland Downtown Association to make this happen, and every year the community comes together to support the effort. This is where you come in!
